'sPhysiology as She il Taught


From the Medical Record
We should be much interested in seeing collec-
ton OF examples of medicine as She Is Taught, -
compiled from the green-roOm experiences OF our
medical faculties. We fancy that the misconcep-
lions OF public school children would dwindle into
superlative insign11cance in comparison, as the
following Illustrations taken from the Western
press will show: A student is asked to report a
case and responds with this result:
"HistOry of present illness: Stranded himself and
spit Of brite red color. Present condition. Have
you any feaver or mite swetSr NO. Very little

Herd shores valves this statement much puzzled
the examiners, ultimately they concluded the
candidate referred to 'SOnorOuS raleS). PrOgnOss:
Can't be cured, but can be sent to mexico"
While too much should not be inferred from such
specimens, the selections from English as She Is
Taught" showing physiology as She is Taught
In our pubic schools are not only amusing but
have suggestive interest. We append them
here:
''The stomach is small pear-shaped bone situ-
ated in the body.
"The gastric juice keeps the bones from creak-
in i.r, r, ..,.u ,,o
and reaches the heart where 1t meets the oxygen
'.The salivary glands are used to salivate the
body.
.'Physilosigy is to study about your bones stum-
mick and vertebry.
Occupations which are Injurious to health are
carbOlc acid gas which is impure blood.
"We have an upper and lower skin. The lower
skin moves all the time and the upper skin moves
when we do.
'In the stomach starch is changed to cane sugar
and cane sugar to sugar cane.
''rhe olfactory nerve enters the cavity OF the
orbit and Is developed into the special sense OF
hearing"
'The growth OF q tooth begins in the back Of the
mouth and extends to the stomach"
"If we were on railroad track and the train
was coming the train would deafen our ears so
that we couldn't see TO get on the track"

Such examination answers as the above lead
one to the suspicion that the mysteries OF the
human body are not made very clear to public
school children.
Physiology and anatomy are difficult studies.
Correct notions OF our body and its functions can
only be obtained by objective teaching, and then
only where the student has some maturity Of
general knowledge. These studies should, there

Great Acts of church Choirs.

Does Revivalisnl Paw

From the Baltimore Herald
When the Reverand Sam Jones and the Rev.
erend Sam Small came to this city last year their
services were attended by immense numbers of
persons and the results Of the meetings IN that
respect went beyond the expectations of the most
sanguine promoters of the movement. 1t was in
evltaDie That some friction should be developed
with the ministers OF conservative denOmtn nations
but on the whole the clergy OF the city accorded
the evangelists hearty welcome and left a free
field for the exercise OF their vocattons
This was year ago. and it is understood that
the Reverend Sam Jones will shortly revisit this
city. 1t is probable that he will be alone IL only
for the reason that Mr.. Small Is very sick man
Conservative ministers of religion now rise to re-
mark that, whatever may have been the temper
airy effect OF the revival sermons OF Messrs Jones
and Small, the people who went to hear them are
at this time running up big account with the
enemy or souls, much as II the crusade had never
been conducted. The real issue is whether the
money devoted to the revival meetings would or
would not have borne more solid and lasting re-
suits spent IN supporting the regular services in
the city churches.
